No matter, you are entitled to your opinion as I am entitled to mine.

That is a stupid statement.

[Nearly Sane]

Sadly that sort of selfish behaviour would occur whichever party was in power, imo.

The problem is this sort of behaviour has in various ways been encouraged by the UK govt lately - firstly there was the lack of actions on Cummings, then we have had the corruption of the decision of Jenrick as regards Richard Desmond's planning decision - with again no action taken, and then Johnson's idiotic wiffling in reply to Peter Kyle telling him  be brave and therefore encouraging people to break the rules. If people feel the rules don't apply to those charge and this  govt is providing lots of evidence of that- then they won't obey them,

A flat earther is entitled to their opinion - it does not make it a valid one.

[Roses]

That is a stupid statement.

Why?

[SteveH]

Why?

Because opinions need to be based on facts. see my new signature.

It looks as if Leicestershire might have an extension of the lockdown as it has had a spike in new cases.

how many of the flights on planes are in any way necessary?

I've no idea, but given the current quarantine rules, probably quite a high proportion.

Hmmm, maybe we can open theatres if the audience is prepared to self isolate for fourteen days afterwards.

Also cinemas will be open.

Theatres will also be able to re-open on 4th July.

In Wrexham, North Wales a man is going from door to door selling a covid-19 'vaccine' for £70 a time. I hope no one would be silly enough to buy it

One of my work colleagues, who comes from Leicester, said that there was much speculation in the city that Eid which occurred on the 12-13th May might cause a surge in infections. Leicester has quite a large Muslim population. It will be interesting to see if, in six weeks time, we have a similar surge in Liverpool.

United approach? What united approach? The Westminster government at its' divisive best. https://weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2020/06/29/keeping-us-safe/

6 weeks seems like quite a long window given what we know. Is it that something like Eid along with the gradual loosening of restrictions are part of that?

[Aruntraveller]

So were going to "build, build, build" our way out of the economic crisis caused by Covid 19.

Cummings isn't even trying with the 3 word slogans now. Lazy assed fucker.

And 5bn won't do a lot of building.

It didn't happen in Leicester, the recent upsurge was well past the incubation period from Eid.  What's happening in Liverpool which might cause a surge in six weeks?

I'll clap when the govts gives staff a pay rise, and weekly testing. Not when the fuckers vote against both.

I should have made it clear that the idea that it was Eid that started Leicester's problems is speculation. However, if it was Eid, six weeks is about right. Eid would cause the initial surge and this would be multiplied over the next few weeks until the trend was noticeably above the national trend. And yes, the loosening of the restrictions would have to be part of it.

It wouldn't be noticeable after one "generation" of incubation. Think about the initial surge. The virus was definitely in this country in January. At the beginning of March there were only two hospitalisations and people were only taking it seriously at all because of what was happening in Italy.

What's happening in Liverpool which might cause a surge in six weeks?

It might do. Most of the irresponsible gatherings were outdoors, so maybe Liverpool will dodge the bullet.

Why didn't it happen in Bradford, or other places with high Muslim populations?
